Display information management system

ABSTRACT

To provide a display information management system that greatly reduces the load of a management device when providing presentation screen information and the like created at each terminal, and the like to other terminals. 
     A display information management system ( 1 ) includes a terminal device ( 50 ) including specific basic software (OS), specific information displaying software for creating a presentation screen operable with the specific basic software, and a database; and a management device ( 10 ), where the terminal can associate information of the database and each screen of the presentation, and create the presentation information created with the specific information displaying software with heterogeneous presentation information; and transmit the presentation information and the heterogeneous presentation information to the management device.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to, for example, a display informationmanagement system of display information such as presentationinformation used at a terminal, and the like by sales representative,and the like.

BACKGROUND ART

A portable terminal device that assists business activities of the salesrepresentative has been conventionally proposed (e.g., patent document1).

Some portable terminal devices are configured such that the salesrepresentative with the portable terminal can create a presentationscreen for his/her customer, and the like, and display the screen on adisplay of the portable terminal to carry out the business activity.

Some portable terminals having such configuration hold various types ofinformation that can be cited on the presentation screen as a database.

Furthermore, there is also a portable terminal on which a presentationcreating software (e.g., Power Point (registered trademark)) forcreating a unique presentation screen is operable.

The unique presentation screen created with a specific portable terminaland the information in the database associated therewith are transmittedto a management sever, and the like, and then transmitted from themanagement server to other portable terminals to allow use by othersales representatives.

Actually, however, the OS (Operation System, basic software running anabstraction of hardware of a terminal to operate the software such asapplication, etc.) of another portable terminal that receives the uniquepresentation screen and the information in the database associatedtherewith from the management server is not, in most cases, the same asthe OS of the portable terminal that created the presentation screen,and the like.

In the portable terminal having a different OS, the relevantpresentation screen, and the like cannot be displayed on the display,and hence a configuration in which the management server transmits thedata such as the presentation screen created with one portable terminalto another portable terminal after converting the data to an applicationsoftware (e.g., PDF (“Portable Document Format”)/A-1, and the like thatcan be displayed on the another portable terminals is adopted.

CITATION LIST Patent Document Patent Document 1: Japanese UnexaminedPatent Publication No. 2005-275824 (FIG. 1, etc.) SUMMARY OF THEINVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention

However, even if the application is converted from the Power Point tothe PDF, for example, the relationship of the presentation screen andthe associated data of the database may break, and the association maybecome difficult to appropriately reproduce.

The management server thus needed to convert the data of the uniquepresentation screen transmitted from each portable terminal, and alsore-associate the data of the database with the presentation screen so asto be reproducible with the application after the conversion. Thisincreases the number of portable terminals and imposes a great burden.

The present invention aims to provide a display information managementsystem capable of greatly reducing the load of a management device suchas a management server when providing presentation screen informationcreated at each terminal, and the like and information of a databaseassociated therewith to other terminals.

Means for Solving the Problems

The above-described problem is overcome by a display informationmanagement system according to the present invention. The displayinformation management system includes a terminal device includingspecific basic software of basic software, or the Operation System forrunning an operation including an abstraction of hardware of a computerto operate an application software on the computer, specific informationdisplaying software, or specific information displaying software forcreating a presentation screen operable with the specific basicsoftware, and a database that stores various types of information usedwith the creation of the presentation screen; and a management devicecommunicably connected to the terminal; wherein at least one terminalassociates, when the specific information displaying software creates apresentation, information of the database and each screen of thepresentation, and creates the presentation information, created with thespecific information displaying software and created in association withthe database, with heterogeneous presentation information, orinformation created with another specific information displayingsoftware, and transmits the presentation information and theheterogeneous presentation information to the management device.

According to the configuration described above, the presentationinformation (presentation information created with the Power Point)created with the specific information displaying software such as, forexample, the Power Point (registered trademark) and created inassociation with the database can be created with information createdwith another specific information displaying software such as PDF/A-1.

Thus, both the Power Point presentation information created with thePower Point and the PDF/A-1 presentation information created andprocessed with the PDF/A-1 can be stored.

Furthermore, the management device can acquire the Power Pointpresentation information and the PDF/A-1 presentation information fromthe terminal device.

Therefore, when providing the presentation information acquired in theabove manner to another terminal device, the management server canselect and provide the presentation information (Power Pointpresentation information and/or PDF/A-1 presentation information)operable on the relevant another terminal device, thus greatly reducingthe burden of the management device.

Furthermore, the defects, and the like in the association of datainvolved in the data conversion can be prevented from occurring.

The management device preferably selects and provides the presentationinformation and/or the heterogeneous presentation information operablewith the basic software based on the basic software information of theterminal device, or a destination to provide the presentationinformation.

According to the configuration described above, the management deviceselects and provides the presentation information and/or theheterogeneous presentation information operable with the basic softwarebased on the basic software information of the terminal device, or adestination to provide the presentation information, so that negativeeffects such as the presentation information not being able to bebrowsed at the received terminal device can be prevented from occurring.

The management device preferably acquires the database information fromthe terminal device, determines appropriateness of change when change ismade to the acquired database, and updates the own database whendetermining that the change is appropriate and notifies a terminaldevice that made the change that the change is inappropriate whendetermining that the change is inappropriate.

According to the configuration described above, the management deviceacquires the database information from the terminal device. Thus, thedata of the database managed by each terminal device and the databasemanaged by the management server can be made the same common data, thusallowing an effective use of the data of the database.

Furthermore, when the data of the database of the terminal device ischanged, the appropriateness of such change is made, thus ensuring thereliability and the certainty of the common database used in the entiresystem.

When the management device changes the own database, the managementdevice preferably also provides information related to the change toother terminal devices.

According to the configuration described above, when the managementdevice changes the own database, the information related to such changeis also provided to other terminal devices, so that the most recentdatabase can be always shared in the entire system.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

The present invention has an advantage of providing a displayinformation management system capable of greatly reducing the burden ofthe management device such as a management server when providingpresentation screen information created at each terminal, andinformation of a database associated therewith to other terminals.

The terminal 90 side control unit 93 also controls a “terminal 90 sideOS information storage unit 95”, a “terminal 90 side database 96”, and a“terminal 90 side various information storage unit 97” shown in FIG. 7.

The contents of the “terminal 90 side OS information storage unit 95”,the “terminal 90 side database 96”, and the “terminal 90 side variousinformation storage unit 97” will be described later.

FIGS. 8 to 12 are schematic flowcharts showing a main operation example,and the like of the doctor explanatory material management system 1.

In the present embodiment, an example in which the MR (medicalrepresentative), who is an employee of a pharmaceutical firm, uniquelyprepares a presentation material such as a slide for explaining theinformation on one's product “antihypertensive drug α” for doctors inthe cardiovascular department of a hospital he/she is charge of withhis/her terminal 50, registers the prepared material to one's managementserver 10, and sometime later, another MR of the same firm downloads,and the like the relevant presentation material to his/her terminal 90will be described below.

In step ST (hereinafter referred to as “ST”) 1 of FIG. 8, “D004 data ofsuperiority of medicinal effect of antihypertensive drug α” in the“terminal 50 side database 61” shown in FIG. 3 is rewritten and updatedwith the most recent data through an input means such as the touch paneltype display 51.

The MR of the terminal 50 has the authority to rewrite the “D004” dataas registered in the “terminal 50 side database 61” of FIG. 3, and therelevant MR also updates the data to use the material of “D004” in thepresentation material of the “antihypertensive drug α” to prepare later.

Therefore, in the present system 1, the terminal 50 side database 61,and the like are accommodated in each terminal 50, 90, respectively, andthe content of the databases are made the same content including themanagement server 10 to enhance the convenience of the data.

The process then proceeds to ST2. In ST2, the MR starts up thepresentation application (e.g., Power Point) to start the preparation ofthe presentation material such as the slide for explaining theinformation of one's product “antihypertensive drug α” to the doctors inthe cardiovascular department of the hospital he/she is charge ofSpecifically, “presentation software (Power Point) (program) 62 of FIG.3 is driven.

The process then proceeds to ST3. In ST3, setting is made such that when“slide page 1” is displayed on the touch panel type display 51, the dataof “basic information of high blood pressure” is input, the slide page 1and “D001 article data of university professor related to high bloodpressure” in the “terminal 50 side database 61” of FIG. 3 areassociated, and a signal such as a click is input in the slide page 1,the D001 data is displayed on the touch panel type display 51.

This is then stored in a “terminal 50 side presentation data storageunit 63” of FIG. 3. The stored data is an example of presentationinformation.

FIG. 13 is a schematic explanatory view showing a main content of the“terminal 50 side presentation data 63 a” of FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 13, the “basic information of high blood pressure” inthe slide page 1 created with the presentation application (Power Point)and the data of “D001” associated therewith are stored in the “terminal50 side presentation data 63 a”.

Furthermore, information on the name “antihypertensive drug α” and theidentification number “12345” are also stored in the terminal 50 sidepresentation data 63 a.

The process then proceeds to ST4. In ST4, “heterogeneous informationdisplaying software data creating unit (program) 64” shown in FIG. 3 isoperated, so that the association of the slide page 1 in the fieldcreated with the presentation application (Power Point) of the “terminal50 side presentation data storage unit 63” shown in FIG. 13 and theterminal 50 side database 61 can also be created with the applicationsoftware PDF/A-1 and the application software HTML.

The material can also be prepared with different application softwarefor the following reasons.

The OS mounted on the terminal 50 is Microsoft Windows, and the OSmounted on the terminal 90 is OSX.

In such a case, the Power Point operates normally on the MicrosoftWindows, but may not operate normally on the OSX.

Furthermore, if the Power Point data is converted to the PDF/A-1 data,and the like, defects may occur in the association with the terminal 50side database 61 described above during the conversion.

The data created with the Power Point is thus also created with theapplication software of a different format such as PDF/A-1, HTML, andthe like.

Therefore, if the PDF/A-1 operates more normally than the Power Point ona terminal, for example, the terminal 90 mounted with a different OS,the data created with the PDF/A-1 can be provided, as will be describedlater, so that defects in the display at the terminal 90, and the likecan be avoided from occurring

Such task is carried out by each terminal 50, and the like that prepareseach presentation material rather than by the management server 10, andhence the burden of the management server 10 can be significantlyreduced.

In ST4, the data also created with the application software (PDF/A-1)and the application software (HTML) are stored as “application software(PDF/A-1) created data” and the “application software (HTML) createddata” of FIG. 13.

The “application software (PDF/A-1) created data” and the “applicationsoftware (HTML) created data” are examples of heterogeneous presentationinformation.

The process then proceeds to ST5. In ST5, setting is made such that when“slide page 2” is displayed on the touch panel type display 51, the dataof “trend of formulated medication of high blood pressure” is input, theslide page 2 and “D002 graph data of trend of formulated medicationrelated to high blood pressure in recent years” in the “terminal 50 sidedatabase 61” are associated, and a signal such as click is input in theslide page 2, the D002 data is displayed on the touch panel type display51, and the data is stored in the field created with the presentationapplication (Power Point) of the “terminal 50 side presentation datastorage unit 63” of FIG. 13.

The process then proceeds to ST6. In ST6, the heterogeneous informationdisplaying software data creating unit (program) 64 is operated, so thatthe association of the slide page 2 in the field created with thepresentation application (Power Point) of the “terminal 50 sidepresentation data 63 a” of the “terminal 50 side presentation datastorage unit 63” and the database is created with the applicationsoftware (PDF/A-1) and the application software (HTML), and respectivelystored in the “terminal 50 side presentation data storage unit 63” as“application software (PDF/A-1) created data” and the “applicationsoftware (HTML) created data”.

The process then proceeds to ST7. In ST7, setting is made such that when“slide page 3” is displayed on the touch panel type display 51,“prescription example of high blood pressure” is input, the slide page 3and “D003 prescription example data related to high blood pressure” inthe “terminal 50 side database 61” of FIG. 3 are associated, and asignal such as click is input in the slide page 3, the D003 data isdisplayed on the touch panel type display 51, and the data is stored inthe field created with the presentation application (Power Point) of the“terminal 50 side presentation data storage unit” of FIG. 13.

The process then proceeds to ST8. In ST8, the heterogeneous informationdisplaying software data creating unit (program) 64 of FIG. 3 isoperated, so that the association of the slide page 3 in the fieldcreated with the presentation application of the “terminal 50 sidepresentation data storage unit 63” and the “terminal 50 side database61” is created with the application software (PDF/A-1) and theapplication software (HTML), and respectively stored in the “terminal 50side presentation data storage unit 63” as “application software(PDF/A-1) created data” and the “application software (HTML) createddata”.

The process then proceeds to ST9. In ST9, setting is made such that when“slide page 4” is displayed on the touch panel type display 51,“superiority of medicinal effect of antihypertensive drug α” is input,the slide page 4 and the “D004 data of superiority of medicinal effectof antihypertensive drug α” of the “terminal 50 side database 63” areassociated, and a signal such as click is input in the slide page 4, theD004 data is displayed on the touch panel type display 51, and the datais stored in the field created with the presentation application (PowerPoint) of the “terminal 50 side presentation data storage unit” of FIG.13.

The process then proceeds to ST10. In ST10, the heterogeneousinformation displaying software data creating unit (program) 64 of FIG.3 is operated, so that the association of the slide page 4 of thepresentation application of the “terminal 50 side presentation datastorage unit 63” and the “terminal 50 side database 61” is created withthe application software (PDF/A-1) and the application software (HTML),and respectively stored in the “terminal 50 side presentation datastorage unit 63” as “application software (PDF/A-1) created data” andthe “application software (HTML) created data”.

The operations of creating the slide pages 1 to 4 of the“antihypertensive drug α” by the terminal 50 and associating the slidepages with the data of the “terminal 50 side database 61” are thenterminated.

In the present embodiment, the data are created with the presentationapplication (Power Point), and at the same time, data of the samecontent is also created with the “application software (PDF/A-1) and the“application software (HTML)” and stored in the “terminal 50 sidepresentation data 63 a” of FIG. 13.

Therefore, the MR, who is the operator of the terminal 50, completes allthe operations in one time without the need to perform the same taskthree times, and hence the operation of the MR does not becomecumbersome and can be rapidly processed.

The process then proceeds to ST11. In ST11, the terminal 50 transmitsthe data of the “terminal 50 side presentation data storage unit 63” andthe “terminal 50 side database 61” to the management server 10.

The process then proceeds to ST12. In ST12, the management server 10stores the data of the “terminal 50 side presentation data storage unit63” and the “terminal 50 side database 61” in the “server sidepresentation data storage unit 21” and a “temporary database storageunit 22” of FIG. 5, respectively.

The process then proceeds to ST13. In ST13, a “database confirmationprocessing unit (program) 23” of FIG. 5 is operated to compare the“server side database 24” and the “temporary database 22” and check forpresence/absence of difference data.

The content of the “server side database 24” is the same content as the“terminal 50 side database 61” of the terminal 50 and the “terminal 90side database 96” of the terminal 90 of FIG. 7.

If the difference data is present in ST14, the process proceeds to ST15.

In ST15, the difference data is stored in a “difference data storageunit 25” of FIG. 5. In the present embodiment, since the terminal 50changed the “D004 data of superiority of medicinal effect ofantihypertensive drug α” in ST1, the “D004 data of superiority ofmedicinal effect of antihypertensive drug α” is stored in the“difference data storage unit 25”.

The process then proceeds to ST16. In ST16, a “difference data aptitudedetermination processing unit (program) 26” of FIG. 5 is operated, andwith reference to “change authority” information of the difference dataof the “difference data storage unit 25” in the “server side database24” (the data is similar to the “terminal 50 side database 61” of FIG.3), whether or not the terminal 50 that transmitted the relevant datahas “change authority” is determined.

The process then proceeds to ST17. If determined that the terminal haschange authority in ST17, the process proceeds to ST18. In the presentembodiment, the process proceeds to ST18 as the terminal 50 has thechange authority for the “D004 data of superiority of the medicinaleffect of the antihypertensive drug α”, as shown in the “terminal 50side database 61” of FIG. 3.

In ST18, the management server 10 rewrites the data of the “server sidedatabase 24” to the data after the change.

In other words, the change is made to correspond with the changed “D004data of superiority of the medicinal effect of the antihypertensive drugα” of the “terminal 50 side database 61”.

The unification of the content in the database of the terminal 50 andthe management server 10 is thereby realized. Furthermore, thereliability and the certainty of the content of the database can beensured since the content of the database is changed after confirmingthe presence/absence of authority.

The process then proceeds to ST19. In ST19, a “database changenotification processing unit (program) 31” of the management server 10of FIG. 6 is operated to transmit the data after the change in the“server side database 24” to each terminal, for example, the terminal90, and the like of FIG. 1.

The process then proceeds to ST20. In ST20, the terminal 90 rewrites thedata of the “terminal 90 side database 96” of FIG. 7 to the data afterthe change based on the received data, and updates and registers thesame.

Thus, it can be ensured that the databases of all the terminals 50, 90,and the like and the management server 10 have the same content, and arethe most recent content.

Therefore, commonality, reliability, and the like of the content of thedatabase used when the MR presents various types of information todoctors, and the like can be ensured in each terminal 50, and the like.

If determined that the terminal does not have the change authority inST17, the process proceeds to ST21, and this is notified to the terminal50.

The main steps of providing the presentation material prepared with theterminal 50 to the terminal 90 with respect to the management sever 10will now be described using the flowchart of FIGS. 11 and 12.

If the MR holding the terminal 90 of FIG. 1 thinks of using thepresentation material of the “antihypertensive drug α” prepared with theterminal 50, the management server 10 first determines whether or not abrowsing request of the presentation data is made from the terminal 90in ST31 of FIG. 11.

Specifically, determination is made by a “browsing request determinationprocessing unit (program) 32” of FIG. 6.

If determined that the browsing request is made in ST31, the processproceeds to ST32. In ST32, the management server 10 transmits a “list ofnames” and a “list of identification numbers” of the “presentation data”of the “server side presentation data storage unit 21” to the terminal.

The process then proceeds to ST33. In ST33, determination is made onwhether or not a download request of the presentation data such as the“antihypertensive drug α” is made from the terminal 90, and for example,if the download request of the presentation data of the“antihypertensive drug α” created by the terminal 50 is made, theprocess proceeds to ST34.

In ST34, a “terminal OS information processing unit (program) 33” ofFIG. 6 of the management server 10 is operated, and the managementserver 10 requests the terminal 90 for the “OS information”, which isthe basic software mounted on the terminal 90.

The process then proceeds to ST35. In ST35, the terminal 90 referencesthe “terminal 90 side OS information storage unit 95” of FIG. 7, andtransmits the OS information, for example, a notification that the OS isthe OSX to the management server 10.

The process then proceeds to ST36. In ST36, the management server 10stores the received “terminal 90 side OS information”, for example, theOSX in a “terminal OS information storage unit 34” of FIG. 6.

The process then proceeds to ST37. In ST37, a “download request responseprocessing unit (program) 35” of FIG. 6 is operated, and the “terminalOS information storage unit 34” and an “OS supporting operableinformation displaying software information storage unit 36” arereferenced.

The “OS supporting operable information displaying software informationstorage unit 36” stores information for selecting, for example,“presentation application (Power Point)”, “application software(PDF/A-1)”, “application software (HTML)”, or the like operable on theOS (OSX) of the terminal 90, and the like.

Thus, the management server 10 selects the presentation data of the“antihypertensive drug α” including the data of the relevant software,for example, the “application software (PDF/A-1)” of the presentationdata (include “terminal 50 side presentation data 63 a” of FIG. 13)stored in the “server side presentation data storage unit 21”, andtransmits the relevant data to the terminal 90.

Therefore, although the OS differs between the terminal 50 and theterminal 90, the presentation of the “antihypertensive drug α” preparedby the terminal 50 can be appropriately displayed on the terminal 90irrespective of the difference, and can be displayed at a desired timingwithout causing defects, and the like in the information of the databaseassociated with each slide.

Furthermore, in the present system 1, the management server 10 cangreatly reduce the burden of the management server 10, as conversion,and the like of the presentation data from the Power Point to thePDF/A-1, and the like do not need to be carried out.

Moreover, since the data conversion is not carried out, defects, and thelike can be prevented from occurring in the association of the slide andthe information of the database that occur at the time of dataconversion.
